HORRIBLE DEED.-A horrible murder was
committed at Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday
morning between I ard o'clock. Yaclob
Cabaek is a we'll to do carpenter, living on
Independence street, near the city limits.
He has had employment ell winter and his
Oldest son has worked with him. Yesterday
morning ne and his son went to work
shortly before o'clock The mother, An
toinette, had oeen out of temper at the
breakfast table and had refused to talk to
her husband. Directly afte: breakfast she
sent Henry, her 15.year-old SOD, to gro
Gerry near by, and still another son to milk
depot, but when they returned they could
not get into the house Going into the
back yard they saw James, Is years old, in
the water closet bleeding from sixteen
wounds in his left side. They hastened
away and called their older brother, who
had gone off with the father, and returning
the three boys forced an entrance to the
house They discovered Tony, an S-year-
old girl. bleeding from dozen cuts in her
left side. On the floor near by were Mamie,
5 years old Antoinette, 3 years old, ana
Willie, s months, all dead from dreadful
stabs near the heart. A bloody pair OF
sheers told the story. A hunt was made
for the mother. She was found in the cell
ler hanging from rafter, dead. She had
killed her three children, mortally injured
two others, and had then destroyed herself.
No cause for the terrible deed is given. The
husband does not think that his wife was
insane. The two injured children, James
and Antoinette, were removed to the city
hospital, where the doctors say they will
surely die. Each was stabbed thirteen
times. The shears were nine inches long.
Cabalek was drunken fellow, although he
worked and, with his son, earned SO a
month.

THE trial of one case in our Cours
during the first week displayed an
uncommon amount of loose virtue on
the streets after night, as well as a
system of openly and VIGOROUSLY liv-
ing and cohabiting together without
being married, as it is possible to
imagine. The officers of the law will
have to take hold of these matters
with firm hand to the end, that law
and good works may be enforced.

An Audaoious Preacher Rebuked.

A Springfield, Ohio, despatch to
the Xenia, Ohio, Iorchight, states
that last Sunday the Rev. A. B.
Leonard, Prohibition candidate for
governor in 1885, filed the pulpit Of
DR.. William Runyan, and, in defin-
ING "The Perfect Man." said:
"He will warn q sinner, comfort q
saint, instruct the innocent, correct
the erring, pray in revival, weep
with the penitent, speak in class
meeting, give to benevolent collec.
ton, teach sunday school class, re
form drunkard and vote for the
prohibition of the liquor traffic. Any
man who would say the Lords Pray
err at night and vote the next day
for Oliver S Kelly Republican can
didate for mayor, and a man of
sterling worth is a hypocrite."
For an instant the audience seem
ed paralyzed. Then a few of DR.,
Leonard worshippers clapped their
hands. Suddenly in the midst OF
the audience the form of Peter
! Slack, a member Of the Central
Church and the Republican candi-
date for Council in the Third ward
arose, and while every eye was fast.
ened upon him, he said L protest
against this unseemly applause, and
/ protest againt such utterances from
the pulpit by political demagogue.1
The tensionson the nerves Of the
audience can better be imagined than
described. Such a scene had never
before occurred in a Springfield
church. Republicans while they de-
! plored the occurrence, could not but
feel rejoiced that Mr.. Slack had the
moral courage to rebuke publicly

Last week you gave publicity
through the columns of your valua-

make q few corrections. He said
the "Bedington Literary Society yir-
tually closed on the 3lst of March
and that there would be a theatrical
performance on April 18th under the
management of Mr.. j. V. Quinn"
This is incorrect, as the lyceum did
not close until the It'll. 1t was to
have closed on March 3lst, but ow-
ing to the inclemency of the weather
the exercises were postponed until
the It'll and were not theatrical.

sion. "Texcan related the expert
ence of a boy, that was as unbound
ed as anything could be. Judging
from the tenor of his remarks, he is
evidently one of the sore-heads OF
the lyceum. | suppose had he been
able to run the lyceum according tc

lance from him, the exercises were

ENCOURAGE 81 wing.

NORTH Carolina has a law author
izing system Of Saving Banks for
the State. We understand that at
the recent session of the legislature
of this state a law was enacted MAX
ing more liberal provisions in regard
TO such institutions for saving. We
have not seen the text of the law but
sincerely hope that broad and gen
erous law has been enacted which If
thoroughly carried out, may lead the
people to a system Of wise saving
of the dimes and pennies. The Bal
timore Sun in speaking Of the sub
ject well says:
Nothing SO much promotes habits
of thrift and industry as the crea-
ton Of opportunities for the secure
investment of small savings. The
coin which ifleft in the pocket tends
so surely, according to the common
saying, to burn its way out will keep
cool if placed at interest in safe
hands. Many persons are IMPROVE
dent simply for want of a chance to
be otherwise. A savings bank in
every neighborhood would be pow
erful rival to the dram shop, and
would diminish the vices that lead to
crime. 1t is therefore among the
duties of the people to foster such
benefieent institutions. They should
receive the very smallest amounts.
They need not be pretentiously hous-
ed 1t is enough that they be hedg
ed in with such precautions that in
no event will the depositor lose his
deposit.
